Why is alumni entry closed?
Got a message in the alumni group saying that alumni entry has been closed for a few days because something happened yesterday. Does anyone know what happened?

Does seeing other aspirants' study hours motivate you or stress you out? UPSC prep is lonely. You study 8+ hours a day, often alone, for months, and there's no shared sense of "we're all in this together" unless you're in an expensive Delhi coaching circle.
I keep wondering if a simple thing would help — an app where your daily study hours (tracked by a focus timer, so they're real) show up on a feed your aspirant friends can see. Streaks, a bit of friendly competition, reactions. Like Strava but for study hours.
For people deep in prep: would this push you to be more consistent, or is study too personal to make social?
